Antidote

Cheng Ke froze for a long time after hanging up the phone. He didn't recover until Jiang Yuduo put a cup of iced milk tea on his face.

"In your shop?" He took a look at the milk tea.

"What do you want," Jiang Yuduo said, "I only have cement and ceramic tiles in my shop now."

"Did you buy it next door?" Cheng Ke smiled.

"Sent next door," Jiang Yu grabbed a low voice, a shop opened by an elder sister, "Chen Qing is already familiar with others."

"Chen Qing is okay," Cheng Ke glanced at the shop next to him. Chen Qing was sitting in front of the bar and chatting with an elder sister, "I have never found him so friendly."

"Friendly shit, the elder sister's daughter is in freshman year, and now comes back on vacation, sometimes come over to help," Jiang Yuduo said, "If you don't have this, you can see if he can say a word to the elder sister."

"Doesn't your shop have it, too, little girl, looks bad?" Cheng Ke asked.

"Very good..." Jiang Yuduo stopped halfway, "Master, what do you say to me?"

"Am I so careful?" Cheng Ke said.

"I don't know. After I was with you, this was the first time I had the opportunity to stay with the little girl," Jiang Yuduo said. "How can I know how big or small you are in this kind of thing."

"It's quite big," Cheng Ke said. "After all, I'm a person who is almost forty years old."

"The little girl looks pretty." Jiang Yuduo said.

"Oh," Cheng Ke nodded and drank a mouthful of milk tea. "Why didn't Chen Qing go to the little girl in his shop? Seeing it every day, every day is good for everyone."

"I don't know." Jiang Yuduo looked at him.

"I tell you, I know." Cheng Ke said with a smile.

"I don't want to listen." Jiang Yuduo narrowed his eyes, "I **** know what you want to hold back."

Cheng Ke couldn't smile, and pointed to him: "You are a little civilized, boss Jiang."

"If you dare to say, I will dare to beat you, and I will not report it to you." Jiang Yuduo said.

Cheng Ke smiled and sat down under a parasol, drinking milk tea slowly, looking at the materials in the store.

"Who just called you?" Jiang Yuduo came over and sat down next to him. "For a long time, I didn't hear you."

"Huihui called me," Cheng Ke frowned, "It seems that Xu Ding took...my dad to the restaurant."

"Your dad?" Jiang Yuduo was stunned. "Is Xu Ding familiar with your dad?"

"I didn't know it before," Cheng Ke said, "but I don't know if I know it later."

"What is this for?" Jiang Yuduo asked, "Xu Ding rebelled?"

"Impossible, Xu Ding is not the kind of person," Cheng Ke ordered a cigarette, "Isn't it said that Jin Jin sent some senior green plants to the restaurant, Xu Ding did not tell me that Jin Jin is Who."

"That's your dad's betrayal?" Jiang Yuduo turned his head. "Fuck, then he wants to make such a deal. Can Cheng Yi let you go! It's easy to stop."

"I don't know how my dad handled the relationship later, I have never contacted my family again." Cheng Ke said.

"Did you let him listen to the recording?" Jiang Yuduo asked.

"No," Cheng Ke said. "He actually doesn't know. He can guess Cheng Yi's ideas if he listens or not. He just... presumably want this effect, competition."

"You ask Xu Ding," Jiang Yuduo sighed. "What the **** did your dad want to do? Seriously, Cheng Yi will trouble you again. I will really knock him out."

"So arrogant, third brother." Cheng Ke smiled.

"Come on, after I know you, I can almost judge the outstanding residents of our community," Jiang Yuduo raised his eyebrows, bowing his head and slurping milk tea. "Don't let me find an opportunity."

Cheng Ke rubbed his hair with a smile.

Xu Ding hasn't mentioned Cheng Jin to Cheng Ke, and he didn't ask if he wasn't. At the regular meeting of the theme restaurant on the 1st of every month, Xu Ding would come over to listen and always see.

Cheng Ke waited until the 1st, and after the meeting was over on the small terrace on the second floor, he and Xu Ding sat still.

"So breathless." Xu Ding took a sip of tea and smiled.

"I was thinking about what happened to my dad," Cheng Ke said.

"Before he came to me," Xu Ding whispered, "I've been here a few times, but you never found it."

"...When has he been here?" Cheng Ke froze, he would come to the store almost every day, but never found his father.

"I didn't know before. The last time was last month. Wasn't the business hot at that time," Xu Ding said. "He's looking for me again."

"Take money?" Cheng Ke asked.

"Wealth fan," Xu Ding smiled. "He asked me what style this store is in. I said Xiao Ke means not holding it. It has quality but is grounded."

"Well," Cheng Ke nodded. "That's what it means. It's too much to hold. If you really understand, you can't look down. If you pretend to understand, you dare not enter."

"Cheng always thinks this idea is right," Xu Ding said, "I said again that you want to expand recently, and find another suitable place to open one, he will let you go here to see."

Xu Ding put a business card in front of him.

Cheng Ke glanced at it and didn't know the name, but he knew the address on the business card very well. This is a commercial square that Dad developed last year. To be precise, it was the project he was kicked out of his house by Cheng Yi.

"Can't afford the rent," Cheng Ke said.

Xu Ding smiled and did not speak.

"Does he want to stimulate Cheng Yi or to stimulate me?" Cheng Ke sighed.

"Neither," Xu Ding said, "This location is the best in the city. I feel reconciled. You have been out for so long. It seems that you have no plans to bow your head."

"I still have to look down," Cheng Ke looked at Xu Ding. "Did he tell you anything else?"

"What can he say to me, the attitude of a 100% investor," Xu Ding said, "there is no more than one sentence... Oh, yes, let me not tell you."

"Then I will continue to pretend to be stupid? I pretend I don't know." Cheng Ke said.

"Pretend." Xu Ding nodded.

Cheng Ke picked up his business card and shook it: "This is all for me, can I still hold it?"

Xu Ding stood up with a smile: "You can do it, I will make a request and make more money."

The decoration of Meow was fast, probably because the area was so small, so it was finished in less than a month. When Cheng Ke passed the second time, even Miss Lucky Cat had been put away, and there was still a corner Cat climbing frame.

"Is this for meow?" Cheng Ke asked. "When did you buy it? I don't even know."

"This is..." Jiang Yuduo hesitated and pointed to the little girl holding a parasol with Chen Qing at the door of the shop. "Just that, she bought it."

"Yo." Cheng Ke glanced at the little girl.

It looks really white and delicate, and looks much more work than Chen Qingli.

"Isn't Chen Qing..." Cheng Ke stared at it for a while, feeling that Chen Qing's eyes looked like the face of the man, and had been staring and never left.

"You see it?" Jiang Yuduo immediately came together. "He doesn't go to the elder sister's shop to drink milk tea now."

Cheng Ke laughed: "Do you think there is a play?"

"No drama." Jiang Yuduo shook his head without thinking.

"I think so," Cheng Ke said. "After all, the girl is for the boss."

Jiang Yuduo chewed and took a rag to wipe the table.

When the little girl came in, she saw Cheng Ke sitting in front of the bar, stupefied: "We haven't opened yet."

"Do you think he came to drink milk tea?" Jiang Yuduo said.

"Oh." The little girl smiled embarrassedly.

"This is Sun Qinqin," Jiang Yuduo introduced to Cheng Ke. "Our shop's only technical support."

"No, no." Sun Qinqin quickly waved his hand.

"This is me..." Jiang Yuduo pointed at Cheng Ke.

When Cheng Ke looked at his expression, he already felt what he wanted to say.

But even if he was mentally prepared, when Jiang Yuduo spoke out, he was still a little dizzy, a little excited, a little contented, and a little...not at all...he was surprised to find that he would actually be in such a thing I'm sorry.

"My boyfriend, Cheng Ke." Jiang Yuduo said.

"Oh," Sun Qinqin didn't seem to be particularly surprised. "Brother Ke, always listen to Chen Qing say you."

"Well." Cheng Ke smiled.

Jiang Yuduo was also a little surprised by Sun Qinqin's calmness and turned to look at her.

"I used to work as a fried chicken shop," Sun Qinqin went to the bar and sorted out the cups. He said with a smile, "The boss is also a man, and he has a boyfriend who has been together for many years.

"Ah." Jiang Yuduo responded.

"This box has no meowed cups," said Sun Qinqin, "make a few stickers and stickers, so you don't have to waste too much, anyway, don't we plan to make stickers too."

"OK." Jiang Yu nodded.

After saying a few words to Sun Qinqin, Jiang Yuduo and Cheng Ke walked outside the shop door. Chen Qing looked at them and came out immediately.

"There's nothing wrong here in the afternoon," Jiang Yuduo said. "Let's go to the mall, I want to buy clothes."

"Aren't you buying clothes at the wholesale market." Cheng Ke said.

"It's not our mall," Jiang Yuduo pointed to the other side. "Walk all the way there. There is a clothing wholesale market. Chen Qing found that things are cheaper than free delivery."

Cheng Ke sighed: "If you don't go, just buy in the mall."

"Don't you think I have money when I open a shop?" Jiang Yuduo said, "Young Master, he hasn't opened a business yet. He has been counting money out, and he hasn't even entered a woolen thread."

Cheng Ke didn't speak. He took out his wallet and turned it over for a long time. In the corner, he found a dime coin that had not been used here for months.

He took Jiang Yuduo's hand and put the coin in his palm: "Yi Mao, come in."

"Fuck," Jiang Yu grabbed a smile for a long time. "Well, everywhere, the mall, this mall."

After shopping for half an hour, just after picking two t-shirts for Jiang Yu, Cheng Ke's mobile phone rang.

He took it out and looked at it: "The restaurant called, I don't know what happened."

"Brother Cheng," Huihui's voice came out as soon as she answered the phone. "Cheng came over two minutes ago."

"Which President Cheng?" Cheng Ke didn't respond.

"Your father," Hui Hui said, paused and repeated again, "Your father."

"Oh, is he alone?" Cheng Ke wanted to laugh a little.

"One person, on the second floor," Hui Hui said, "Sister Fang went to order."

"Is there a performance on the second floor this afternoon?" Cheng Ke asked.

"Well, it's already performing," Hui Hui said. "Maybe I'm watching it now."

"Okay, I know." Cheng Ke hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Yuzhuo. "I have to go there, my dad is in the store."

"I will go too." Jiang Yuduo said.

"Well." Cheng Ke nodded.

Dad went alone, it was estimated that he wanted to find him, but he couldn’t put down the shelf and told him that he could only meet by chance. If he didn’t go by now, his dad would probably leave, and it would be hard to say if there was another chance encounter. .

Because Dad must know that the people in the store will inform him if he wants to go, it is estimated that Dad will be able to take back the store where he has started looking for someone to design.

"I'll be outside for a while, and I won't go in," Jiang Yu snatched Chen Qing's private electric car and took Cheng Ke there. "I'm afraid your dad will be upset when he sees me."

"What's wrong," Cheng Ke said.

"I'm still taking medicine." Jiang Yu grabbed his frown.

"You didn't even treat him without treatment," Cheng Ke said. "Why are you afraid of treatment now?"

"I don't want to affect his impression of you, it just turned a little bit better," Jiang Yuduo said.

"Me and my dad," Cheng Ke squeezed his eyebrows. "With or without you, no matter how hard you work, you can't be as intimate as a normal father and son. We haven't been intimate and intimate for so many years. By the way, something has been missed, something has happened, and it cannot be compensated."

"Well." Jiang Yuduo responded, and didn't know if he understood.

"If you don't want to talk to him, just drink something on the first floor." Cheng Ke said.

"Okay, then I'm on the first floor." Jiang Yuduo said.

The car drove to the door of the restaurant and stopped at their own parking lot for employees.

Cheng Ke was using this parking space for the first time. He didn't have a car, and no one in the store had a car. When Xu Ding came to park, it was usually used by guests.

The two got out of the car, Jiang Yuduo looked at the side: "How good are we to get a taxi, why should we drive Chen Qing's car?"

"...I don't know," Cheng Ke looked at Chen Qing's car, which was only half the size of the car next to him, "I..."

"Your dad came out." Jiang Yuduo suddenly lowered his voice and said quickly.

Cheng Ke froze for a moment, then turned to look over the store door.

Sure enough, I saw my dad standing at the door and looked at them and the car with emotion.

"Dad," Cheng Ke took two steps forward and greeted his dad, "How come you are here."

"Ask for some reason." Dad came over and looked at Jiang Yuzhuo with a frown.

"Uncle good afternoon." Jiang Yuduo said.

This familiar greeting probably reminded me of my father's not-so-good memories. Cheng Ke saw his brow tightened.

"I'm going first." Jiang Yuduo quickly walked into the store after he finished speaking.

"Talk a few words." Dad kept staring at Jiang Yuduo's back until he entered the store, before turning to look at Cheng Ke.

"Well," Cheng Ke hesitated and opened the door. "Talk in the car."

"In the car..." Dad was obviously shocked.

Cheng Ke did not look at him, and got into the car.

It took a few seconds for my dad to sit in as if he had made up his mind. The first sentence was estimated to be uncontrollable: "This is your car?"

"No," Cheng Ke lowered the window, and his side was facing the window. "Jiang Yu grabbed a friend's car."

"Last little guy who took the lead in stopping the car." Dad said.

"Well." Cheng Ke nodded, "This car is very good, new energy, and subsidies."

Dad looked at him for a long time and said, "Are you mad at me?"

"No," Cheng Ke turned back, "I didn't plan to buy it."

Dad cleared his throat after being silent for a while: "The chain over there is still a branch, has it started?"

"In the design, there is a lot of space over there, and some functional areas are still being discussed with the designer." Cheng Ke said.

"Well," Dad nodded. "You... don't think I have any conspiracy."

"I never felt that way." Cheng Ke smiled.

"Don't think that Xu Ding has anything to hide from you. For these two months, I didn't know him before, but I knew there was such a person," Dad said. "Cooperation still requires trust."

"I know." Cheng Ke looked at his father and said these words. It was very rare for his father. He grew up so much, and it was the first time he heard what his father explained to him.

"Your boyfriend..." Dad looked over at the store door, and then he was stunned. "Why did he run over again!"

"Huh?" Cheng Ke also froze for a moment, and quickly looked over there.

Jiang Yuduo came with two mugs and walked to the door of the car. He put the cup on the roof of the car and pulled open the door of his father's door.

"Drink something?" Jiang Yuduo asked.

Dad glared at him and said nothing.

"Uncle good afternoon." Jiang Yuduo said.

Cheng Ke felt that Dad might be mad.

Jiang Yuduo is not like this to others. Only when facing his dad, others may not know, but he can feel that Jiang Yuduo is very nervous, and he can't even squeeze out a smile.

It looks very much like a black shop owner who forces you to buy or sell if you buy it out of the street in a second.

"Drink, what are you taking these two glasses?" Cheng Ke quickly answered.

"Watermelon juice." Jiang Yuduo took the cup on the top of the car and handed it in.

Cheng Ke took both cups and handed a cup to his father: "Dad, drink some watermelon juice."

"Um." Dad took the glass and bowed his head to take a sip.

Jiang Yu grabbed the door of the car and turned away.

Dad was almost scared by this loud noise without shock absorption and silence almost stood up and coughed for a long time.

"That, he..." Cheng Ke was also taken aback, took the cup in his father's hand, "a little nervous."

"I see it," Dad frowned. "There's no big deal."

Cheng Ke didn't speak.
